8.5 OBS
The OBS key is used to select manual or automatic sequencing of waypoints.
OBS selection is available on the Default Navigation page. Touching this key
selects OBS mode, which retains the current “active to” waypoint as your
navigation reference even after passing the waypoint (i.e., prevents sequencing
to the next waypoint). Touching the OBS key again returns to normal operation,
with automatic sequencing of waypoints. Whenever OBS mode is selected, you
may set the desired course To/From a waypoint using the pop-up window on the
GTN 6XX or with the external OBS selector on your HSI or CDI.
For leg types that do not support OBS, this key will be shown as a SUSP key.
This key will then also function as an Unsuspend key for legs that auto-suspend,
such as holds, missed approaches, etc.
NOTE: In dual GTN installations with crossfill on, the OBS course will only
be updated real time on the GTN that is receiving the new OBS course. The
course will be transferred to the other GTN when OBS is exited.
